I also voted for "Hey bright eyes". For an advert that is rarely on, it irritates me vinegar in my urethra.

I had to go for the Domino's ad because I actually find it politically offensive. However Gollum Mini Rolls is also brick-throwing-worthy.

I must have seen them but I'm not sure what any of the nominated ads are! My vote goes to anything featuring Linda Barker, so Currys and that vile one for her ratty old couches where she simpers about needing more space.

I voted for the evil evil evil ringtone adverts! The new Carcraft one should burn in hell just for changing the tune from 'Carcraft at Shefffiiieeellldddd' (maybe it's just a Yorkshire advert....)

yes, please expand the vote to include "anything with Linda fucking Barker in it".
None of the others offend me enough to be able to blot her out.

My most hated advert is the road tax one.
The one that says, roughly "PEOPLE WHO DODGE PAYING ROAD TAX GO OUT RUNNING PEOPLE OVER ALL THE TIME WITH NO INSUARANCE AND THEN RAPE THE PEOPLE THEY'VE RUN OVER AND THEY HAVE AIDS AND ALL SORTS OF STDs, PROBABLY. AND THEY SMELL TOO"
They base the whole advert on a possibility that if you haven't done one thing, and therefore probably haven't done a whole bunch of other stuff.
"This man hasn't paid his road tax, so what makes you think he paid his insuarance, or learned to drive, or put on matching socks, or wiped his arse?"

Curry's really have a problem with their image! dont get me wrong, i dont think she's ugly or anything, (in fact i very much would, provided she wasnt allowed to say anything (in any accent)), i just think she has the most annoying voice and persona in the entire world ever. |

ringtone ads frustrate me to the point of mass murder. Theyre terrible and theyre on all the time and they sound NOTHING like the songs. I've never downloaded one thankfuly. And the ones on the gangsta rapper channels... they make me laugh theyre so pathetic.

The new Carcraft one should burn in hell just for changing the tune from 'Carcraft at Shefffiiieeellldddd' (maybe it's just a Yorkshire advert....) It was originally (to me anyway) "Carcraaaaaft, of Rochdale, dun du dun du dun du du dun". Years ago when they had to advertise on the Radio (1997). They're obviously doing very well for themselves, but I think they may be forgetting where they came from. Which is Rochdale (dun du dun du dun du du dun), obviously. |

How come "ringtone ads" are beating "eat pizza like a bloke"?
Firstly, you cannot group all ringtone ads together as one. That is biased sampling.
Secondly, your most hated advert has to be something as least a little bit offensive. It's "hated" not "annoying, but sometimes quite amusingly bad and also occasionally catchy".
Come on...

Well the Rochdale branch is great as it fits to the song, the nail in the coffin was the new Leeds/Bradford branch which can't and will never fit!!! |

People keep ringing me up (I do Vodafone customer care) and complaining about receiving spam texts, which they are charged for. "Have you bought a ringtone lately?" I ask them. The answer is always yes. Don't do it people.
